March IL, the date ut present fixed.

advance in freight rates and the adj
vance of wages which will go into eff

difficulty.

General B. +. Buffers Injuries are
much more serious than ut first sup
posed. His doctor says the generals

stances his patient can not leave his
bed for three weeks to come. The
dislocatiOn was accompanied by rup-
ture of the ligaments, caused by throw
ing his shoulder bone forward. Gen
eral Buffers accident will seriously in
terfere with his professional engage
ments, and, among other things, will
cause a pOstponement OF the somewhat
famous boycott case, which was down
for trial at Plymouth the coming week.
